Change, add, or remove Apple ID payment methods

You can manage your Apple ID payment information in Settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch; in iTunes on your Mac or PC; or in the Apple Music app on your Android device.

Your Apple ID is the personal account that you use to access Apple services like the App Store, iTunes Store, iCloud, and more. When you change your payment method or billing address, your information also updates everywhere that you use your Apple ID.

Update or add

Update a payment method: Tap the payment method that you want to change, then edit your information. Make sure that your information matches what's on file with your financial institution. You might need to enter the security code that's printed on your credit or debit card.

Add a payment method: Tap Add Payment Method. (If you add a credit or debit card, you might see an option to add the new card to Apple Pay.)

Remove or reorder

Remove a payment method: Tap Edit, then tap the Remove icon or swipe left and tap delete.

Change the order of your payment methods: Tap Edit, then use the Move Order icon to rearrange your payment methods. Apple will attempt to charge payment methods in order from top to bottom. You can't change the order in which Apple ID balance is charged.

*With iOS 12.2 or later, you can also manage your payment methods from Settings > [your name] > Payment & Shipping. If you have a device with iOS 12.1.x or earlier and you edit your payment methods from Payment & Shipping, all payment methods that you have on file will be removed.

Change your payment method on your Android device

You can edit your payment information on an Android device, but doing so will remove all payment methods except your primary method from your Apple ID and from other devices that you use with your Apple ID. To avoid this, use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update your payment information.

Before you change your payment information, make sure that you have the latest version of Apple Music for your Android device.

Open the Apple Music app on your Android device. From the bottom of the screen, tap Library, For You, Browse, or Radio. Then tap the menu button in the upper right corner.

Tap Account > Payment Information. You might be asked to sign in with your Apple ID. If you don't see Account, tap Settings > Sign In, sign in with your Apple ID, tap the back button , and tap the menu button again.

Make sure that your name and billing address exactly match the information on file with your financial institution, then tap Done.

Manage payment methods that family members use

When you set up Family Sharing and turn on purchase sharing, one adult in the family—the family organizer—controls a single shared payment method for everyone in the family group. Learn more about family purchases and payments.

If you're the family organizer, you can add multiple payment methods to your own Apple ID, but your family members can use only the first payment method in the list. If a family member can't make a purchase, the family organizer can move a different payment method to the top of the list.

Did you see Apple charges on a new credit or debit card? Your financial institution might have automatically updated your information for you. If you have any concerns about this process, contact your card issuer or financial institution.
